My awesome gaming system. 1337!!!

So as you all know, I purchased the Sims 3 recently, and I was trying to run it on my Macbook. I really shouldn’t say trying, because it worked, but not as well as I’d have liked it to. It was slow and choppy at times, I couldn’t maximize the graphics settings, and fast-forwarding was a joke.

Brady had been offering to build me a gaming computer of my own, as long as I saved up the money, so I figured I’d now take him up on the offer. The only thing was that I didn’t have the money saved up, but he had the Bill-Me-Later option with New Egg. So I’m using his account, and I’m the one paying the bills, but the computer has been worth it.

I don’t really know the specs, except that it’s Intel Dual Core, and the processor is like 2.69 gHz (technically 2.7, but it only sees 2.69.) It’s got 4 gigs of ram, and sees all 4, since I’m running Windows 7 64-bit. (Gross, I know.) I also have a pretty good graphics card. I don’t know the specifics, but Brady said it’s slightly better than his. I have 600-something gigs of hard drive space, and I also installed a wireless card. Why – I have no idea, but it works.

Here’s the awesome part. The case is pink!

It’s small and compact, and has blue LEDs on the fan, and gives me a temperature reading on the CPU and hard drive. Mine’s always hotter than the gauge in the picture, mostly because it’s so darn packed in there. The graphics card takes up the whole left side.

So anyway, I’m pretty excited and I thought I’d share that with everybody. I also have a pink Logitech mouse with it, and a keyboard that glows purple! ^_^
